[WBEL-users] /var/log/messages filling up

[James Knowles]

I did an update with yum a few days ago. I haven't done so for a while. 
(This is my workstation.)

I just noted that I'm getting the following in /var/log/message every 
few seconds:

Jan  4 12:06:04 sherizod pam_timestamp_check: pam_timestamp: `/var/run/' 
permissions are lax
Jan  4 12:06:39 sherizod last message repeated 7 times
Jan  4 12:07:44 sherizod last message repeated 13 times
Jan  4 12:08:49 sherizod last message repeated 13 times
...
Jan  4 16:08:12 sherizod last message repeated 13 times
Jan  4 16:09:17 sherizod last message repeated 13 times
Jan  4 16:10:22 sherizod last message repeated 13 times
Jan  4 16:11:27 sherizod last message repeated 13 times

I looked, and for some reason /var/run is:
drwxrwxrwt    9 root     root          440 Jan  3 18:28 run/

What should it be?

Thanks!
